Or are they consistently used throughout the entire tradition of Graeco-Roman epic from early Greek to Neo-Latin epic? Any conscientious diachronic study of the development of a literary genre, but especially of such a long, dense, complex, and experimental tradition as epic poetry has to start with several caveats. The fact that the design and structural approach of this study as well as the normative structural theories of classical epic that form the basis of our analysis nearly exclusively focus on the epic form is not to be understood as a renunciation of the significance of the poems’ content and language for the epic tradition. As Johannes Haubold convincingly shows in the first contribution of this volume, the dialogue between form and content plays an important part from the very start of the tradition, which is universally accepted to have begun with Homer for the Western tradition in the form of oral poetry. Johannes Haubold is not challenging this view, but he expands the analysis to ancient Mesopotamia, especially Akkadian epic, to explore and gain new insights into the conditions, shared cultural background, and the understanding of the divine and human history that influenced Homer’s composition, and thus the early stages of the epic tradition. Another persistent challenge for diachronic approaches is, of course, that of periodisation. These problems of chronology and direct and indirect borrowing and (inter)dependency of the individual poems only multiply when the analysis is expanded from the structures of classical epic to the entire tradition of Graeco- Roman epic from its beginning to the early 20th century. While we divide the important periods of the structural development of the epic genre into different eras for the purpose of our analysis, we do not postulate that the individual time periods and developmental stages are self-contained units and independent from one another. All contributions in this volume work on the assumption of a fluent, albeit not strictly linear transition, and, more importantly, parallel development of multiple strands of the epic genre. It seems reasonable therefore to exclude the problem of periodisation as well as questions about the transmission of the individual epics from our discussion. https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110492590-064 2 | Christiane Reitz and Simone Finkmann No theoretical model could accurately unify the versatile and ever-evolving architecture of epic poetry, for which the only constant is the shared knowledge of a clearly recognisable set of building blocks between the poet as the builder and creator of a complex epic construction and the recipient (both contemporary and of future generations) as admirer or critic of this epic architecture. It therefore cannot be the aim of this study to develop a comprehensive theoretical model that can truly encompass the complex development and transformation of epic structures throughout the entire tradition. The architecture of an epic poem can be individually modified to fit the desired layout and the specific purpose of theinten- ded construction. It can easily be expanded horizontally and vertically to the point where only individual structures resemble the blueprint of the classical model, but it will always be held together and defined by its core structures, irrespective of the time of its creation, the skillset of its creator, the material from which it is built, the different paint jobs it receives over the years, or the degree of change or de(con)struction it undergoes over the course of time. Similarly, this study will not examine the historical, cultural, and socio- political background of the individual epics under discussion in detail, but presupposes that the authors’ and the readers’ biographies inform the practice of literary composition and reception, and as such have a significant impact on the reception and the transformation of epic structures and the perception of epic poetry as a reflection of the poets’ (and by extension their contemporary readers’) cultural and political values as well as aesthetic and religious views. These important external factors are explicitly addressed in this volume only when they are the main factor for the modification of an established epic structure orfor the creation of a new one. For the purposes of our study, a strict classification system is neither necessary nor beneficial, as it is not relevant whether the different products of epic experi- mentation are subtypes in their own rights. It is more important which structures are studied, copied, varied, enhanced, or omitted, and to what effect. Acknow- ledging the experimental nature and openness of the epic genre to expansion and variation, and the occurrence of many mixed types of epic poetry, as well as a predilection for the shorter form of the epyllion in Late Antiquity, we adopt a broad definition for epic poetry in this compendium. This allows for the inclusion ofa great range of epic designs and subtypes, such as didactic poetry, verse panegyrics, hagiographic poems, animal epics, romance epics, and mock epics, some of which even came to surpass the production of classical historical and mythological epics. This evolving process of composition, literary taste, and perception of the form and content of epic poetry is particularly evident in the Christianisation and rhetorisation of epic poetry in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, which gave The origin, tradition, and reinvention of epic structures – a short introduction | 3 rise to the creation of new epic conventions, while leading to the disappearance of other well-established structures. The rhetorisation of epic poetry, under the influence of declamation schools and a more pervasive formal education of the target audience, is perhaps best exemplified by four developments: 1) the stricter application of already existing formal regulations and microstructures, e.g. in the greater precision of parallel- isms between the objects of comparisons in epic similes; 2) the enhancement of (declamatory) speeches and rhetorical devices, esp. ethopoiia, and the embellish- ment of ekphraseis; 3) the authors’ purposeful combination of complex and subtle borrowings from multiple predecessors and literary traditions, which appealed to and challenged a learned reader and created a new style of epic poetry; 4) indi- vidual authors, such as the late antique poet Claudian, showed their versatility by composing different subtypes of epic poetry. Other transformations within this process were the result of general changes in the use of the respective language itself. Nonnus’ stricter regulation of the hexameter, for instance, is the result of the transition of the Greek language to a stress accent. The heroic verse is, however, a good example for the general pervasiveness of the changes an epic poem could undergo throughout this long literary tradition. Once the undisputed stock meter of the epic genre and a symbol for its high style, the hexameter was rivalled, and at times replaced, for instance, by elegiac couplets and even prose in the Middle Ages and Neo-Latin epic. This change is also indicative of the evolution of aesthetic views, which gradually led to a dilution of the grandeur of epic poetry with the incorporation of more ‘undignified’

A GENEROUS license, in the mode of living, is allowed IJ1 Milton to the lyric poet, but water and a wooden bowl are all he can afford the epic poet - singer of the gods and their descent unto men. No doubt, lyric poetry is, in essence, the expression of individual passion, and, as such, cannot quench love as supreme passion. Only in Alexandrian and later Greek literature did love enter as a main interest or motive into the epic. But in poetry itself, the dividing line between epic and lyric is often dimly drawn, and an epical lyric, as well as a lyrical epic, can be warrantably used of certain com­ positions. Not even the quaint stateliness of Spenser's epic poetry can hide the lyric spirit that pervades much of it. But, indeed, the epic sums in itself all poetry - not merely epic, but dramatic, idyllic, and elegiac elements as well. For the epic is the most comprehensive of all kinds of poetry. It is inclusive of the romance, as Tasso very clearly perceived. In the" Odyssey" of Homer, we find the epic become the most romantic of all poetry. For it has all experience for its prov­ ince. With calmness and self-possession the epic poet rep­ resents his past events as action in progress, so differing from the dramatic poet, who imports immediacy and vehe­ mence into his representation of events as real and present.

  • Poetry's Politics in Archaic Greek Epic and Lyric
    Oral Tradition, 28/1 (2013): 143-166 Poetry’s Politics in Archaic Greek Epic and Lyric David F. Elmer In memoriam John Miles Foley1 The Iliad’s Politics of Consensus In a recent book (Elmer 2013) examining the representation of collective decision making in the Iliad, I have advanced two related claims: first, that the Iliad projects consensus as the ideal outcome of collective deliberation; and second, that the privileging of consensus can be meaningfully correlated with the nature of the poem as the product of an oral tradition.2 The Iliad’s politics, I argue, are best understood as a reflection of the dynamics of the tradition out of which the poem as we know it developed. In the course of the present essay, I intend to apply this approach to some of the other texts and traditions that made up the poetic ecology of archaic Greece, in order to illustrate the diversity of this ecology and the contrast between two of its most important “habitats,” or contexts for performance: Panhellenic festivals and the symposium. I will examine representative examples from the lyric and elegiac traditions associated with the poets Alcaeus of Mytilene and Theognis of Megara, respectively, and I will cast a concluding glance over the Odyssey, which sketches an illuminating contrast between festival and symposium. I begin, however, by distilling some of the most important claims from my earlier work in order to establish a framework for my discussion. Scholars have been interested in the politics of the Homeric poems since antiquity. Ancient critics tended to draw from the poems lessons about proper political conduct, in accordance with a general tendency to view Homer as the great primordial educator of the Greeks.

  • Waiting for Godot and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead Axel KRUSI;
    SYDNEY STUDIES Tragicomedy and Tragic Burlesque: Waiting for Godot and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead AxEL KRUSI; When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead appeared at the .Old Vic theatre' in 1967, there was some suspicion that lack of literary value was one reason for the play's success. These doubts are repeated in the revised 1969 edition of John Russell Taylor's standard survey of recent British drama. The view in The Angry Theatre is that Stoppard lacks individuality, and that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is a pale imitation of the theatre of the absurd, wrillen in "brisk, informal prose", and with a vision of character and life which seems "a very small mouse to emerge from such an imposing mountain".l In contrast, Jumpers was received with considerable critical approval. Jumpers and Osborne's A Sense of Detachment and Storey's Life Class might seem to be evidence that in the past few years the new British drama has reached maturity as a tradition of dramatic forms aitd dramatic conventions which exist as a pattern of meaningful relationships between plays and audiences in particular theatres.2 Jumpers includes a group of philosophical acrobats, and in style and meaning seems to be an improved version of Stoppard's trans· lation of Beckett's theatre of the absurd into the terms of the conversation about the death of tragedy between the Player and Rosencrantz: Player Why, we grow rusty and you catch us at the very point of decadence-by this time tomorrow we might have forgotten every­ thing we ever knew.

Unfolding Verse: Poetry As Correspondence In Early Modern England Abstract This project recovers a forgotten history of Renaissance poetry as mail. At a time when trends in English print publication and manuscript dissemination were making lyric verse more accessible to a reading public than ever before, writers and correspondents created poetic objects designed to reach individual postal recipients. Drawing on extensive archival research, “Unfolding Verse” examines versions of popular poems by John Donne, Ben Jonson, Mary Wroth, and others which look little like “literature.” Rather, these verses bear salutations, addresses, folds, wax seals, and other signs of transmission through the informal postal networks of early modern England. Neither verse letters nor “epistles,” the textual artifacts I call “letter-poems” proclaim their participation in a widespread social

  • Wordsworth & the Sonnet As Epic Prelude
    Connotations Vol. 28 (2019) Wordsworth & the Sonnet as Epic Prelude: A Response to Stephen Fallon and Henry Weinfield* BRIAN BATES Stephen Fallon’s “The Equanimity of Influence: Milton and Words- worth” and Henry Weinfield’s “‘When Contemplation like the Night- Calm Felt’: Religious Considerations in Poetic Texts by Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth” appear together in two bibliographic ways: in volume twenty-six of Connotations and in the journal’s debates sec- tion under the title “Between Shakespeare, Milton and Wordsworth” (https://www.connotations.de/debate/between-shakespeare-milton- and-wordsworth/). While Fallon reexamines “how Wordsworth makes his poetry out of Milton’s poetry, and particularly his Prelude out of Paradise Lost” (126), Weinfield plots a Shakespeare-to-Milton sonnet lineage manifested in Book V of Wordsworth’s The Prelude. Each article concerns authorial influence—for Fallon based on “equa- nimity” and for Weinfield involving a potential “threat” (116)—and focuses on beginnings and endings, making and remaking, echoes and allusions, transience and permanence. Fallon argues that Words- worth discovered in Milton’s epic narrator a lyric model for present- ing the growth of the poet’s mind toward equanimity “in the face of sorrows and adversity” (127). Weinfield contends that Milton’s Sonnet *References: Fallon, Stephen. “The Equanimity of Influence: Milton and Words- worth.” Connotations 26 (2016/2017): 126-40. https://www.connotations.de/article/stephen-m-fallon-equanimity-influence- milton-wordsworth/ Weinfield,

Women do not just have aesthetic values, but also become a lure of extraordinary love. Through Alan Swingewood's literary sociology theory, this paper shows that rural background (Baduwi) influenced Jamil's poems against Butsainah. So the picture obtained is a picture of the beauty of Butsainah, a description of the weakness of Arab women's thinking and a picture of pure Arabian women’s love. 1 INTRODUCTION perpetuate faithful activities that they do, including representing their views on themselves and the world Until now, women are often seen as weak.
